Initial Comment:
Having the possibility to insert coordinates in orthogonal mode (or something like autocad polar traking) just moving the mouse in the presetted direction (with the possibility to select increment angle (90 or 45 or 30 for example)) and typing the distance is a major issue i think.

Message:
we have a rough support to ortho and straight distance typing, 
relative input coordinates will come soon!

Message:
good, i think i can build a tutorial for the interface when a beta will be
released.

anyway i think we can keep the "h" - "v" keys mode but i'm sure autocad
users find really intuitive (and that's probably the only intuitive thing
in autocad) to just point the direction with mouse and typing the
distance.

workaround is:
just typing the esc command key but doing so you reset the command.
Doing  so you are forced to retype the command again.

I fix this issue in my developer release in this way:

each keyboard key you press it will reset the force direction (esc will
still cancel the active command ).

I will add an input box or other smart input system for the angle
constraint in witch the user can type the angle.

I think that having the H V keyboard key is very fast, I do not want to
delete this functionality.

Let me know if you have any different idea for this functionality

Regards,
Matteo

good, but i think we must go further,
for example in current alpha 3 how can i remove orizontal and vertical
mode once pressed "h" or "v".
i think we should switch to a more autocad (or archimedes) like input for
this function.

hi in the actual git version there is already a support for the horizontal
and vertical direction.
You just need to type the h (horizontal) or v (vertical) to force the
direction of a line .

For segment:
Click on segment command,
Click a point in the drawing area
Type H
Click the second point 

I'm still working on that to improve this functionality.

Regards,
Matteo
